Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Lichess potentially allowed promotion of pawns to king
Well, only since this year, it seems.

The reason why you need good, thorough tests when writing chess engines
From another reddit thread I got the link to the commit with the fix. Thankfully, they did add a test case for this: https://github.com/lichess-org/scalachess/commit/f5218340b2a229fa519ecd239fe50aee722bcd0f

lichess doesn't let me capture en passant in the game, only in the analysis board
To be fair, that TODO has only been there for three weeks, which seems reasonable, especially considering it was written by a volunteer.
- Why does nobody play Capablanca chess anymore, while Fisher random is quite popular?
-
White to move. This position is a win in lichess, draw in chess.com.
Lichess does not check for mate. It simply doesn't consider KBvKN a drawn endgame.
- Where can I find lines to test my new music-memory technique?

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
https://github.com/lichess-org/scalachess/tree/master/src/ma...
It's funny because I remember comparing it to mine that I had tried to write during college, and appreciating how much better it is.
Pay attention to how there's a bunch of different types of chess in there too, and how that's factored.

A writeup on definitions of "insufficient material"
The Lichess implementation is as follows:
-
How chess websites define insufficient mating material.
The Lichess implementation does not fully comply with those rules. It looks strictly at the material on the board.
-
Always wondered if lichess is smart enough to notice this is a draw
For reference, here's the current implementation.

Nginx 1.26.0 Stable Released
Yeah, unless I'm looking at it wrong, there doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference between 1.25.5 and 1.26.0:

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:
- Ask HN: Is nginx.org (the domain-name itself) gone?

Freenginx: Core Nginx Developer Announces Fork of Popular Web Server
> I actually don't understand why I am seeing arguments like this all the time.
Have a look at:
https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/src/http/modules/...
It's got the whole checklist: nginx idiosyncratic module system, inline parsing, custom utf conversion, buffer preallocation and adjustments, linked lists, comments about side effects of custom allocator, and probably other things.
It's not easy to deal with source like that and any serious improvement to that area would effectively be a rewrite anyway.
Since anything doing work in nginx is a module anyway, it wouldn't even have to be a full rewrite in one go.

The Internet is Maintained by 1 Software Developer
According to this article, nGinx is being used to serve 34% of all websites in the world. I checked out who's contributing to nGinx, and just like I thought, the project has 8,208 commits, and 5,366 of those commits was made by 2 software developers; igorsoev and mdounin.

Web CGI programs aren't particularly slow these days
Apache’s mod_fastcgi’s last commit was 2 weeks ago:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/
It’s a fork of what you linked (and was more popular afaik back when fastcgi was state of the art, and apache was the undisputed champion of web servers).
These days, nginx has more market share than apache, and its fastcgi module is one of the more recently updated ones in its source tree (5 months vs multiple years):
https://github.com/nginx/nginx/tree/master/src/http/modules
If I was going to build an embedded web server, I’d start with nostd rust, probably with though axum + tokio, since thats already memory safe-ish.
If I needed fastcgi for some reason (dynamically loadable endpoints, or os-level isolation), there are at least four implementations of fastcgi for it. No idea if any are decent though.

Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about
APISIX is an API Gateway. It builds upon OpenResty, a Lua layer built on top of the famous nginx reverse-proxy. APISIX adds abstractions to the mix, e.g., Route, Service, Upstream, and offers a plugin-based architecture.

Hiawatha - Hiawatha is an open source webserver with security, easy to use and lightweight as the three key features. Hiawatha supports among others (Fast)CGI, IPv6, URL rewriting and reverse proxy. It has security features no other webserver has, like blocking SQL injections, XSS and CSRF attacks and exploit attempts. The built-in monitoring tool makes it perfect for large scale deployments.
